docs(v12.2.1): Fable promo extended to July 12, correct guidance#125
Merged
Conversation
The Fable 5 promo was extended from July 7 to 2026-07-12 11:59 PM PT. v12.1.0 reverted the committed default to opus[1m] on the July-7 assumption; that revert stays (committed default is deliberately opus[1m] so fresh installs never silently spend usage credits, and the user-wins merger means the repo default never reaches existing installs). Only the guidance was wrong: docs/agent-models.md header and MANUAL.md note said 'promo ended / credit-gated as of July 7'. Corrected to 'free per-session /model fable through July 12, then credit-gated'. No config or agent-pin change.

Anthropic extended the Claude Fable 5 promo from July 7 to 2026-07-12 11:59 PM PT —
/model fableis still free (up to 50% of the weekly limit, shared pool) for 5 more days. Our docs, written on the July-7 assumption, wrongly claimed the promo had ended and Fable was credit-gated. A teammate reading them today would avoid a window that's actually still free. This corrects the guidance.No config or agent-pin change. The committed default stays
opus[1m]on purpose — so fresh installs never silently spend usage credits when the promo does end, and because the settings merger is user-wins (the repo default never reaches existing installs anyway). The free window is reached the real way:/model fableper session.Summary
